This guide to using intuition to solve physical, emotional and psychological issues draws on the work of Caroline Myss (Anatomy of the Spirit), Barbara Ann Brennan (Light Emerging) and the author's personal experience as a health intuitive. While Myss accesses information from the human energy field through the seven energy centers, or chakras, in the body and Brennan uses the chakras and auras, Kassy's method involves gaining medical data directly from a person's energetic field. Here, she briefly describes various ways that intuitives work and how to tap into inborn intuitive abilities to break down patterns of illness, emotional trauma and addiction. From the examples of long-distance psychic readings Kassy has doneAprovided only with a person's name and ageAreaders may get the impression that readings are similar to finding one's way in the dark. Interpreting the data without experience could be problematic for novices, but Kassy also supplies guidelines for finding a qualified health intuitive. Those who have enjoyed Myss's books, which delve into spiritual practices and religious symbolism, and Brennan's, which contain much scientific background, will find Kassy's book basic. But those who are new to the idea of health intuition, this volume will serve as an introduction to a complex field. Of primary value is Kassy's emphasis on building a foundation for health with good nutrition, exercise, self-nurturing activities and effective barriers against energy-draining people and situations. Her life story also may resonate with many readers who are committed to taking part in their own healing process. (Sept.)

From Library Journal
According to Kassy and Gawain, Americans are searching for answers to life's tough questions from self-help groups or psychic hotlines when all they really need to do is tune into themselves. Both authors are interested in using intuition as a means of achieving optimum health and life fulfillment, and both agree that the more one practices intuition, the more easily answers will arrive. Kassy, who holds a master's degree in intuition/energy medicine from Greenwich University, here writes for healthcare workers and psychologists. Like psychic healer Edgar Cayce, she requires only a name and an age on paper in order to do a reading of a client's health-related illnesses. Arguing that many maladies are caused by Americans' diet of highly processed junk foods, Kassy recommends a visit to a nutritionist. Because she believes that illness is created when our physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual natures are out of sync, she also tunes into negative patterns that adversely affect them. Intuitive power even works with animals, she asserts. Her chapters are filled with anecdotes, case studies, and readings. Gawain is self-taught, and her name has been a household word in the New Age movement since her book Creative Visualization was published in 1989. Based on Gawain's belief that everyone is born with intuitive powers that end up being suppressed, Developing Intuition is written in a workbook style, containing exercises on relaxation, breathing, and meditation techniques. Gawain's book will better suit intuition beginners, while Kassy's more detailed work will serve a wider, alternative health audience. Both are recommended for public libraries. Other authors writing in this vein are Caroline Myss (Anatomy of the Spirit, Harmony, 1996), Marcia Emery (The Intuitive Healer, St. Martin's, 1999), Mona Lisa Schulz (Awakening Intuition, Random, 1999), and Judith Orloff (Second Sight, Warner, 1997).DLisa Wise, Broome Cty.

Customer Reviews

An excellent book
Health Intuition is a practical, effective book. Days after reading it, I was able offer valid readings on other people. I cannot thank Karen Grace Kassy enough for having the courage to write this book, which, in turn, gave me the courage to do readings on others. If you are serious about developing your skills, this is a must read.

A rare gift
I have read Ms. Kassy's book. It is easy to read and packed with wonderful insights and suggestions. Because of its tone i contacted Ms. Kassy and received a most empowering and helpful health "reading"- (way) beyond my expectations!
I hightly recommend her voice in the wilderness of intuition and health information and misinformation. It is clear, concerned and informed- on the page- as well as on the telephone.
Thank you, Ms Kassy!

Excellent guidance from a kind woman.
I remember walking into a bookstore and like a beacon going over to the display of this book when it was newly released. After reading the back I knew it was for me. Fast forward a couple years and I have finally read the book. If you are a fan of Caroline Myss and alternative health, this is a must-read.

Unlike some other (medical) intuitives (it is a growing field), Karen's approach is unique. Her kind and gentle manner come through in her writing. Her advice is excellent and she is experienced in this field. The book weaves personal stories of clients throughout her own personal story and development of her gift of health intuition. This means she is able to understand your personal health issues by knowing your name and age. She practices a holistic view health, meaning she is concerned with the mental and emotional aspects of health and healing as well as physical. Her book is well written and you can easily grasp which areas of health might be ones for you to work on.

I also had the opportunity to receive a health intuitive reading from Karen most recently. She was right-on about many things with my own health and offered suggestions I had not considered. Her website has more information on how to contact her: ...
